While struck by the material change in Santa Rosa – including the clean water project and safe housing initiatives – the Ruders were touched by spiritual transformation, as evidenced by the faith and devotion of the villagers.
“It is just something that is very inspiring for us – spiritually – and knowing that we have people praying for us every day just as we are praying for them,” said Terry.
Added Cindi, “We were really impacted by the way they share their faith. They kind of epitomize what it means to be a Christian and that makes you want to be a better person yourself. So we are hoping that other people have the same heart that we have for those in need and be able to help in this new campaign for this fall.”
